WELL I BOUGHT THIS SUV USED FROM AMERICAS CARMART IN GADSDEN ALABAMA.THEY HAVE A 100 PLUS LOTS AND ADVERTISE GOOD USED QUALTIY CARS..WHEN I BOUGHT THE SUV I WANTED TO TAKE IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER BUT WAS TOLD THEIR ON SITE CERTIFIED MECHANIC CHECKED IT ALL OUT AND WITH THE SERVICE AGREEMENT THOUGHT I WAS OK....HAD IT TWO DAYS AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT..THE SUSPENSION WAS ALSO AN ISSUE THEN 12/21/2014 ..GOING PAST 50 IT SHOOK LIKE CRAZY....AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AGAINI PURCHASED A SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR $595.00..IT COVERS WHAT MY PROBLEMS ARE...BUT THE CONTRACT SAYS THEY CAN USE NON MANUFACTER PARTS WHICH IS FINE...WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION..THEY PUT A JUNKYARD SALVAGE TRANSMISSION WITH 100.000 MILES ON IT...WHEN I CALLED THEM IN DECEMBER ABOUT THE SHAKING AND SUSPENSION AND THE TRANSMISSION...THEY SAID BRING IT IN...I ASKED THEM WHERE THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE IT..THEY REFUSED TO TELL ME...AND I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T WANT A JUNKYARD SUSPENSION OR TRANSMISSION AS PER CONTRACT WAS NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN..I ALSO ASKED FOR A CERTIFIED MECHANIC TO DO THE WORK...THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO.I DO A LOT OF DRIVING IN TENNESSEE..ALOT OF MOUNTAIN DRIVING AND I WAS NOT GOING TO HAVE THE FRONT END {BALL JOINTS,ETC GO OUT THERE..NOT REAL SAFE..THEY CAME AND GOT THE CAR...I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO FIX IT AS AGREED...THAT WAS ON THE 8TH OF JAN..NOW THEY SAY THEY ARE GOING TO SUE ME FOR THE REMAINING BALANCE....I JUST WANT TO CALL ATTENTION TO THIS SUV AS IT IS NOT SAFE..AND ITS MY OPINION THEY DO THIS A LOT TO OTHER PEOPLE...I WANTED TO DRAW THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION AS I WOULD FEEL BAD IF I HEARD OF SOMEONE GETTING SERIOUSLY HURT..DUE TO THEIR INABILITY TO SELL QUALITY USED CARS AS THEY ADVERTISE...AND BELIEVE THEIR PRACTICES ON REPAIRING THESE CARS WITH A SERVICE AGREEMENT GETS CHECKED INTO..I FILED A COMPLAIT W/THE FTC AND AGOFFICE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK IN VEHICLE. STUCK IN ONE SPOT CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT SPEED IS IN VEHICLE. *TR

SMELLED GAS AND NOTICED PUDDLE UNDER VEHICLE WHEN PARKED. CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE AND WAS WORRIED BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. CONTACTED CHEVROLET ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE TO DEALER TO HAVE INSPECTED FOR ANY DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. I WAS CHARGED $49.73 TO BE TOLD THAT I HAD A FUEL LEAK AND TO REPAIR IT I WOULD BE CHARGED $1897.00 EVEN THOUGH CHEVROLET HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN #05012 FOR THIS VERY ISSUE AND THAT IT CAN BE REPAIRED FOR NO CHARGE BUT THEY WOULD ONLY COVER FOR 10 YRS. OR 120,000 MILES. BUT SINCE I AM A LITTLE OVER ON BOTH ITEMS THEY WILL COVER NOTHING AND WANT ME TO PAY THE ENTIRE AMOUNT TO WHICH I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNFAIR AS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND MILES SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE FOR A DEFECTIVE PART AND SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THIS MORNING 12/16/2014 AT 50 MPH WHEN I NOTICED MY DASH LIGHTS,HEADLIGHTS FLUCTUATING ALSO MY VOLTAGE GAUGE. NO MATTER WHAT I DID IT DIDN'T CHANGE THE STATE OF THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD THE GAUGE CLUSTER REPLACED BEFORE I BOUGHT IT AND THE BATTERY. *TR

WHEN I TURN 4WD ON, THE LIGHT GETS STUCK IN 4WD EVEN WHEN I TRY TO TURN IT OFF. I THINK MY CAR IS STUCK IN 4WD AT THIS POINT. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER AND ALL OTHER GAUGES EXCEPT THE GAS GAUGE HAVE STOPPED WORKING.

LOW BEAMS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. PROBLEM ALREADY FIXED BY AUTO REPAIR, BUT VERY CONCERNED THAT LATEST RECALL ONLY INCLUDES 2006-2007 WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING TO OLDER TRAILBLAZERS AS WELL. *JS

ENGINE STARTED MISFIRING ON RANDOM CYLINDERS,MISFIRE DOES NOT STAY ON SAME CYLINDERS. HAS DRAMATIC LOSS OF POWER. DIAGNOSTIC CODE SAYS RANDOM MISFIRE. DRAMATICALLY DECREASED FUEL ECONOMY. BAD VIBRATION. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES DURING MISFIRE. DOES NOT HAVE A CONSTANT MISFIRE, IT COMES AND GOES. *TR

IN NOVEMEBER 2014 I STARTED THE CAR AND I HAD NO GAUGES(GAS,TEMPERATURE,OIL,RPM. MPH, AND THE MILEAGE DISPLAY) THE OTHER ELECTRIC COMPONENTS WORKED, LIKE THE RADIO AND THE SMALL ORANGE LIGHT FOR AWD. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC TWICE, BUT IT NEVER ACTED UP FOR HIM. IT HAPPENED TWICE AGAIN IN DECEMBER, BUT IT REALLY ACTED POSSESSED IN JAN 2015, SOME OF THE GAUGE NEEDLES WERE GOING ROUND IN CIRCLES, AND SOME WERE NOT MOVING AT ALL, SO WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE A VIDEO OF SOME OF IT, AND SHOW OUR MECHANIC. HE CALLED US TODAY AND SAID HE IS FOLLOWING A LOT OF BURNT WIRES, AND OUR CAR COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. I THOUGHT THIS POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD SHOULD BE REPORTED. *TR

SMELL GAS FROM INTERIOR A/C VENTS AND OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE ON DRIVERS SIDE. *TR

THE HEADLIGHT SOCKET (LOW BEAM) ON THE DRIVERS SIDE MELTED AND NEARLY CAUGHT FIRE. AND THE RPM GAUGE STEPPER IS MESSING UP. *TR

SIGNIFICANT, SIGNIFICANT GAS ODER BY DRIVER'S REAR WHEEL. CAN SMELL SOME GAS WHILE INSIDE VEHICLE BUT MOST NOTABLE WHEN OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE NEAR DRIVER'S REAR WHEEL. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS SENDING GAS FUMES IN THRU THE VENT SYSTEM. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL 2004 TRAILBLAZERS. THE OUTCOME IS FAULTY FUEL TANK MODULAR RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY OR HOLE IN TANK. AS OF NOW THERE IS NO RECALL. I WILL BE BRINGING THE VEHICLE INTO MY DEALERSHIP SOON TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED HOWEVER, I FEEL IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES IT SHOULD BE PART OF A NATIONAL RECALL. I SEARCHED ONLINE UNDER CHEVY TRAILBLAZER 2004 FUEL SMELL THRU VENT. I HOPE THAT SOMETHING WILL BE ADDRESSED ON THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED EITHER BY FUMES OR POSSIBLE EXPLOSION. THE AFFECTED PARTS IS NOT CORRECT HOWEVER I HAD TO SELECT SOMETHING TO GET THIS TO PROCESS. *TR

USING THE REMOTE MIRROR CONTROL HAD NO EFFECT.THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THE MIRROR MOTOR CONTINUED TO TRY TO MOVE THE MIRROR PAST THE LIMIT. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, THE CLICKING STOPPED AND THERE WAS AN ODOR OF PLASTIC BURNING. AFTER THE CLICKING STOPPED, NEITHER MIRROR MOVED. THE LOCAL MECHANIC SAID THE WIRING TO THE MOTOR HAD BURNED AND SHORTED THE MECHANISM. I WAS LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE DOOR. HAS THIS MALFUNCTION BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE TRAILBLAZERS? *TR

I ALSO LOOKED UP TO SEE IF THERE HAD BEEN OTHERS THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY WERE WITH MOST ALL VEHICLES UNDER A 100,000 MILES. I CALLED GM AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL ISSUED ON THIS. I THINK THEIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL SINCE THIS WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

AS WE WERE DRIVING THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING WE QUICKLY SWITCHED TO THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WHICH WORKED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. AT THIS TIME THE INCIDENT WAS SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND THE LOW BEAMS STILL DO NOT WORK AT ALL. THE TRAILBLAZER IS DESIGNED FOR THE LIGHTS TO WORK AT ALL TIMES AND THEY HAVE NEVER TURNED ON SINCE THE INCIDENT. WE HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE HIGH BEAMS AND ALL SIGNALS SEEM TO BE FUNCTIONAL. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM SEEN BY SEVERAL PEOPLE. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM SOMEONE IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM. ANY INFORMATION OR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

I WAS ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY TRAVELING EASTBOUND GOING 50 MPH POSTED SPEED 55 MPH WEARING OUR SEAT BELTS, WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE WAITING TO U - TURN IN THE CENTER MEDIAN DECIDED TO TURN RIGHT INTO ME-ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS PERSON COLLIDED WITH ME, WHICH THAT IMPACT SENT ME INTO A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH THE GUARD RAIL. THE CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER IS COMPLETELY TOTALED. THERE WERE 2 INCIDENTS IN THAT SEQUENCE OF EVENTS THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, BUT DID NOT! THIS ACCIDENT CAUSED SEVERAL INJURIES TO MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER. WE DEFINITELY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AND NO AIRBAGS TO HELP SAVE OUR LIVES.....UPDATED 09-03-14 *BF UPDATED 11/7/2014 *JS *TR

STARTING ABOUT A FEW WEEKS AGO MY 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT HAS REEKED OF UNSPENT GASOLINE, AND THIS SMELL CONSUMES THE ENTIRE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS SMALL LEAK BELOW RESERVOIR WHICH APPEARS TO BE LEAKING UNSPENT FUEL. CHEVY OFFERED A "SPECIAL COVERAGE" TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE (CORROSION ON TOP OF FUEL TANK RESERVOIR), HOWEVER IT ONLY COVERS VEHICLES UNDER 10 YEARS OF AGE AND UNDER 120K MILES. MY VEHICLE IS UNDER THAT MILEAGE, HOWEVER THIS REPAIR WILL NOT BE COVERED DUE TO AGE OF VEHICLE (MINE WAS ASSEMBLED IN MARCH). THIS ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, AS ANY SMALL SPARK COULD CAUSE THIS VEHICLE TO IGNITE. I CANNOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE, AND FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED BEFORE IT CAUSES CATASTROPHIC LOSS (EITHER BUILDING OR PERSONAL). *TR

TRUCK CUT OFF WHILE IN PARK. SMELT BURNING SMELL, AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. SOMEONE RAISED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THE COMPUTER ELECTRICAL BOX WAS BURNING. THE COVER WAS MELTED THROUGH FROM THE BURNING. THE VEHICLE WAS OFF AND THEN STARTED BACK UP ON IT'S OWN. SECURITY LIGHTS IN DASH CAME ON. VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. I READ ON GOOGLE WEBSITE THAT SOME VEHICLES HAD RECALLS FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. A CHEVROLET PLACE IN LYNCHBURG VA TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THAT IS NOT WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG ON THE HIGHWAY AND DOING THE SPEED LIMIT. I HIT TRAFFIC AND CHECKED MY CHECK MY GAS GAUGE AND NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 120 AT FULL STOP. I TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON THE TRUCK AND THE SPEEDOMETER STILL PINNED AT 120. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY NEED TO ADDRESS IT. I CALLED CHEVY AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, BUT CHARGE ME 900 FOR A NEW DASH CLUSTER. *TR

FUEL TANK CRACK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A VAPOR LEAK ERROR AND I SMELLED A SLIGHT GAS VAPOR. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE VAPOR LEAK. AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS, THE GAS SMELL BECAME MORE NOTICEABLE AND I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC. A SMOKE TEST REVEALED THAT THE FUEL TANK IS CRACKED WHERE THE FUEL TANK FILLER HOSE IS CONNECTED TO THE TANK. ALTHOUGH OTHER CHEVYS ARE COVERED UNDER RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, THE 2004 TRAILBLAZER IS NOT. THE TANK ALONE IS $790 TO REPLACE NOT INCLUDING LABOR OF ABOUT $150 AT MY MECHANIC. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR THIS CAR AND BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.
